Gaian scientists say that life on Earth moulds the environment, just
as the changing environment influenced the evolution of life. The
carbon dioxide cycle is one of the most important aspects of this
interaction. Carbon is released to the atmosphere by volcanic
activivty , respiration , decay and now by human activity. Plants
remove carbon from the air and "fixes" it in living things. Dead
organisms remove carbon from the system. The two major carbon dioxide
"sinks" are in the tropical rainforests and the oceans. The
rainforests lie between one and two tones of carbon for each square
km. That is why we should reduce deforestalation and accelerate
reforestation.
